Nine copies are located in Ruifeng District, New North City, Taiwan. They flourished in the early stage because of the abundant gold deposits, which declined after exhaustion of mining. Jiufen Old Street can be said to be the busiest street and the most important scenic spot in Jiufen. It retains many Japanese-style buildings, including history, natural scenery, food culture, etc. "Thousand and Thousand Searches", "Sad City", "Nine Coffee Shops" these familiar words attract tens of thousands of visitors. The first impression of Nine Old Streets to me is built on the hill, the steps are steep and long, which is not only the biggest feature of the Old Street, but also the biggest challenge of nine Old Streets. Stone steps, tea fragrance, taro round, lanterns and Japanese old houses are perfectly integrated, giving people a feeling of comfortable and slow life. Because of its fame and commercialization, although it is not a rest day, there are still an endless stream of tourists, many of whom are Japanese and Korean tourists. In addition to the cultural landscape, the natural environment is also praised. Looking at the Pacific Ocean in the old street, you can clearly see the coastline along Keelung Island and Keelung, which is particularly magnificent. Unfortunately, the day you go there is not high visibility, slightly foggy, and you can not enjoy the beauty of the sea and sky. In Nine Old Streets, the enjoyment of delicacies is also a must-miss project. On both sides of the Old Street, there are traditional snacks, catering shops, folk art shops, as well This time I went to taste Lai'a Po'aoyuan. It's very conscientious to calculate the price of NT$50. Taro balls are put in hot sugar water, and then put on a layer of ice. It's hot and cold. Sugar water tastes very sweet. Colorful taro balls make people want to bite, especially Q slippery, very chewy, the next door to the shop has a place to provide a meal. Although climbing so many steps, leaving time is full of sweat, panting, but feel the unique feelings of nine old streets are particularly worthwhile. Next time, I hope to have the opportunity to sit quietly in the nine tea houses at night, enjoy the blurred lights and streetscapes, overlook the fishing ports glittering with fishing fires in the distance, and enjoy the quiet night in the mountain city.

    Jiufen in Taiwan is like stepping into a whimsical time capsule. Wandering through narrow lanes adorned with red lanterns, it feels as if spirited cats are leading a playful parade. Teahouses, like cozy storybook nooks, invite you to sip tea while gazing at mist-covered hills. The smell of street snacks dances in the air, tempting taste buds on a delightful adventure. As the evening descends, the town sparkles like a scene from a fairy tale, lanterns casting a warm glow. Jiufen isn't just a place; it's a cute, nostalgic daydream where each corner holds a pocketful of charm. 🏮🍵🌟

    Jiufen Old Street is a mesmerizing step back in time, offering a nostalgic journey through narrow cobblestone alleys adorned with traditional red lanterns. The charming old-world atmosphere, coupled with the breathtaking hillside views of the Pacific Ocean, creates an enchanting experience. The street is lined with an eclectic mix of shops selling local crafts, tea houses, and street food stalls, providing a feast for the senses. Sampling local delicacies like taro balls and pineapple cakes is a must. The distinct architecture and historical remnants add to the allure, making Jiufen a haven for those seeking a taste of Taiwanese culture and history. While the streets can get crowded, especially on weekends, the overall ambiance and unique offerings make Jiufen Old Street a captivating and memorable destination.
